Security Measures

Employers can also implement security measures such as two-factor authentication and email filtering to reduce the risk of phishing attacks.

Response Plan

Another important step is to have a response plan in place in case of a successful phishing attack. This plan should include steps for employees to take if they suspect a phishing attack, as well as procedures for reporting the attack and minimizing the damage.
